Hundreds of neighbors give dignified burial to baby girl thrown in trash can

Her mother threw her away like garbage. But on Saturday, hundreds of her neighbors came to give her, and the bodies of two other children who were also abandoned, a proper burial.

The baby girl, whom one of the sheriff's deputies named Gabriella, was laid to rest on Saturday morning in the “Garden of Innocence,” a 1,200 square foot corner donated to bury the bodies of abandoned children by Bakersfield's historic Union Cemetery.
